Chapter 344: 164 The Second Person on Earth? (Additional Update)_2

"At first, these three sentences frequently appeared under the "White Ghost" related trending keywords and even flashed across the screens several times, clearly indicating someone was deliberately spreading them.

"The time was before the start of the Zubin Star Battle.

"Because some data had been deleted previously, I wasn’t particularly sensitive to it at the time and didn’t find the key information of these few information cocoons.

"Tracing their origin, it should have been on the New Federation’s Head Star, so we regarded it as a method of network blockage employed by the New Federation.

"Two days later, two other sets of keywords suddenly appeared."

Two projection screens appeared before Yang Ming, each starting with "The universe is the abyss," followed by two illogical keyword phrases.

"The unstoppable Natural Disaster Army," which seemed to refer to the insect plague.

"The devastated homeland."

"A ridiculous civilization trial."

"The vast galaxy and the lonely silhouette."

Yang Ming suddenly sat up, the bathtub surging with layers of water ripples.

He frowned and stared at the scene.

These keywords, on the surface, were all relatable to the insect disaster, but they always followed these six words.

"The universe is the abyss."

This was the promotional line for the "Abyss" game, the opening line, marking the beginning of the entire game’s brutal main storyline!

Lyu continued,

"The other party released the last set of keywords a week ago. They seemed to be looking for something through coded messages. However, if these are code words, they are very covert, and there is undoubtedly a powerful technical team behind them."

The fourth projection screen appeared before Yang Ming.

"The universe is the abyss."

"The highest 129, 55, 121."

"The pioneer after consciousness fusion."

Yang Ming’s lips twitched wildly.

Five years after the "Abyss" game ran on Earth, the highest personal level was 129, with a total of 55 combat professions and 121 specialized auxiliary professions.

Consciousness fusion.

Pioneer.

"Lyu," Yang Ming’s voice trembled slightly but soon returned to calm, "immediately investigate the source of this information, by any means necessary, whatever method you use, give me the most detailed information possible."

"Understood."

Lyu responded softly, and the projection gently flashed and disappeared.

Yang Ming was already restless.

He wasn’t the only one who survived Earth’s explosion?

Consciousness fusion, he had fused with the consciousness of an Empire officer, Kigrov Scientific Research Ship Third Officer Hanton.

Pioneer... what did pioneer mean again?

"The universe is the abyss."

At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly felt that his continuous forward strides were not meaningless.

There were others in his hometown in a similar situation!

...

Three Galactic Times later.

Yang Ming, fully dressed, returned to the bridge of the Feinan.

026, who was playing cards with two tread robots, quickly halted its amusement, returned to its workstation, and awaited the call from its stern-faced boss at any moment.

Lyu’s projection appeared again.

"Boss, currently there isn’t much information we can grasp.

"These keywords come from within the New Federation, mostly released from Minter City, undergoing layers of recoding, and utilizing hidden servers set up by the CIA inside the Empire.

"By using all the keywords to search concurrently, you can get an image clue that finally points to a URL.

"I have parsed all the data at this URL and found that it contains a survey, the content of which cannot be obtained; it is temporarily retrieved and generated based on the other party’s database. Currently, the number of visits to this website is zero.

"The website architecture is located within the New Federation."

Yang Ming leaned against the chair back, frowning, "Could this be bait?"

"That is for you to decide, Boss. Lyu’s information is incomplete," Lyu said softly.

Yang Ming asked, "Can the content of the survey be retrieved?"

"It’s a bit troublesome, and it will certainly alert the other party."

"Then don’t bother for now," Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the table, continuously pondering.

Lyu reminded, "This website has pre-set some backdoors and virus programs that can locate the server position of the entrant, read the entrant’s identity information..."

She looked a bit odd, speaking softly:

"It’s designed to activate device camera functions, a rudimentary operation, and there are bugs in the program design, which appear to be hurriedly pieced together by a team, with minimal testing done.

"Even in the New Federation, technical talents are ranked differently."

Yang Ming said, "Let’s do this, we create a fake identity, I’ll disguise myself, set up a complete disguise, and then directly log into this website from within the Sherman Empire."

"Okay, boss, I’ll arrange it."

Lyu reminded,

"You’d better adopt a contrasting image. They’ve placed these entries in the directory related to the White Ghost, likely suspecting that the White Ghost is one of their kind.

"Lyu speculates thus."

They?

Oh, the delightful plural.

Yang Ming squinted and smiled, quickly diving back into thought.

If indeed a group of Earthlings survived, what should he do?

At this stage, he seemed to have mixed bastante (quite well, in Spanish), right?

Not entirely...

"Lyu," Yang Ming suddenly asked, "is the detector we placed at the relic entrance functioning normally?"

Lyu said, "It’s functioning normally, boss, no signs of any spaceship or life approaching, and the entrance hasn’t been opened."

Yang Ming couldn’t help but recline.

Intelligent Mechanic Dusk was hailed as the only designated chosen place in the "Abyss."

Who could refuse such a great temptation?

Could it be the other party didn’t acquire a spaceship? That seems unlikely. The vast manpower and resource costs required for the New Federation to launch a wide-scale network information dissemination within the Sherman Empire are far from achievable by ordinary people.
